Getting bored while trying to figure out where the nearest post office or massage parlour is on Google Maps?

It’s simple enough, just go to Google Maps and just look up an address or general location so it zooms in close enough to show streets. Then you click on the Pac-Man thumbnail on the left side and the maps morphs into the game.

I tested it out on the streets around the Toronto Sun building – and it plays like the original, which is to say, it’s fun for about three minutes.

Now, if they could, get it to work on Street View, that would a really fun time-waster.
